THIS RIGHT HERE layout for ScrapFriends Color Challenge

Yes, still being inspired by the ScrapFriends sketch, but I'm posting this page for their also inspiring color challenge.

I always find their challenge photos DELICIOUS and it's fun to root round in the stash for some like-minded papers.

I really enjoy layering up cool paper and then cutting a circle or oval in them and laying the photo underneath it and then adding paper behind the whole thing. I guess, the strips of paper flowing into the photo serve to direct your eye directly to the main element which is the photo perhaps?

The funny part about this page that makes me really happy is the recycled clear hanger I used at the top of my tag. It looked useful so I saved it. Also love that dragon fly I used, they are my favorite!

Incidentally on the subject of tags...there is a tag challenge up over at Get Creative and I decided to add one to my page to play along. Mine is not oober-amazing like some I've seen, but I thought I'd point it out to you peeps since they are a fun bunch of girls to hang with!

And, yes, this is another Vegas page. Me at the Hoover Dam with my friend Sara. Guys are not in the photo. We all know girls are prettier in front of scenery. ;-)

Yes, you're right - the eye is just drawn automatically to the photo...very clever! And that plastic hanger....WTG...how do you think such stuff up is beyond me...LOVE it....& the sketch looks totally brill. Perfect colours. Perfect page....and, of course, thanks for joining us at SF:):):)
